POPSRIP Joel Dorn Dorn probably wasn't as well known as he should have been--he produced and recorded LOADS of great records, including some by Les McCann, Eddie Harris, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Max Roach, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Mann, Keith Jarrett, Yusef Lateef, Jimmy Scott, Fathead Newman, Hank Crawford, Ray Bryant, Oscar Brown Jr, & Mongo Santamaria. He was a huge force at Atlantic Records and founded 32 Jazz, Label M and Hyena. He also produced classic records by Leon Redbone and Roberta Flack. And he wasn't one of those bean counter producers: he loved great music, and he helped to make it happen. He spent an hour with us here at the station and did a couple of excellent pledge drive drops for us--all the while dispensing advice on music and programming and letting us know that great music mattered. He was a cool cat, and he cut his teeth in Philly, so he was my boy and I'm real sorry to see him go. You can find a good interview with him here: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/iviews/joeldorn
